My Prayer.

 My Prayer

A Personal Cry from the Depths

Lord, hear my prayer—not a polished, perfect speech,

But the honest cry of a heart that longs to reach

Beyond the noise, beyond the doubt and fear,

To find Your presence ever near.

The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)

My prayer is not for riches or for earthly fame,

But for a closer walk with You, a love that burns like flame.

For wisdom in the choices, for courage in the fight,

For peace that passes understanding in the darkest night.

I pray for those I love—for family and for friend,

For healing where the wounds are deep, for mending without end.

For those who do not know Your grace, for those who’ve walked away,

Lord, draw them to Your loving heart, I humbly pray.

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. (James 5:16)

I pray for my own heart—to be more like Your Son,

To love as He has loved me, to live until the race is run.

Forgive my sins, renew my mind, and set my spirit free.

Create in me a clean heart, Lord, and let me dwell in Thee.

And when my words run dry and I cannot find a way,

Let Your Spirit intercede for me, groaning as I pray.

For You know what I need before I ask, and You are good.

My prayer is simply this: Lord, let Your will be done as it should.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. (Romans 8:26)

My prayer—not a monologue, but a dialogue with You.

Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. Make me new.

Amen.
